Mr. Volker is someone who I truly admired.  He took the backlash to bring down inflation for the benefit of us all in the US. 

Unusually GREAT man.

A truly great man! Best example of a no-nonsense, competent and dedicated public servant and a patriot. May he rest in peace.

Don't want to turn this into a political thread but could you imagine him with Trump? haha

 

He'll be missed.

He enjoyed also fly-fishing. He was a member at the Restigouche Salmon Club which is located in an absolutely beautiful area.

A principled man, he was one of those who are greater than life:
